DOCTOR CYCLOPS return with new LP "Local Dogs" on Heavy Psych Sounds!

Northern Italy's cold woods
are set to unleash their fieriest beast, with '70s power trio DOCTOR CYCLOPS
returning with their blistering third album "Local Dogs" this March
on Heavy Psych Sounds.

DOCTOR CYCLOPS haven't stood idle since their latest album
"Oscuropasso" (World In Sound 2014), slowly but surely rustling up
their heaviest and most accomplished project to date. This new full-length
entitled "Local Dogs" delivers an explosive blend of '70s heavy rock,
NWOBHM and doomier Sabbath-style riffage, ready to take you back to a different
era. Groovy riffs and gloomy paths coming straight from the woods feel like the
epic saga of the '70s is truly likely to continue its course. In this context,
the appearance of Bill Steer (Carcass, Firebird, Gentlemans Pistols) on lead
guitar tastes like the icing on top of a tempting cake.

"Local Dogs" will be issued on LTD clear blue
vinyl, black vinyl, CD and digital. Its compelling artwork was designed by Rise
Above (Marcello Crescenzi).

DOCTOR CYCLOPS is a power trio delivering a blistering heavy
rock rejuvenating the legacy of the '70s and early '80s. The band formed in
2007 in a small village in the middle of Appennino mountains, Northern
Italy. Their common passion for brilliant outfits such as Truth
and Janey, Sir Lord Baltimore, Captain Beyond or Witchfinder General lead them
to record and self-produce their first EP “The Doctor Cyclops” (2010), which is
quickly followed by two full-lengths: “Borgofondo” (2012) and “Oscuropasso”
(2014), both released on German heavy psychedelic label World in Sound.

Since 2008, the trio has had the chance to tour Europe several times, sharing the stages with Firebird,
Blood Ceremony, Siena Root, Colour Haze, Stoned Jesus, The Grand Astoria and
many other bands. DOCTOR CYCLOPS also took part to important festivals such as Freak Valley
in Germany (2012) and Red
Smoke Festival in Spain
(2016). But the oddyssey has just kicked off, as the band plans to release
their new album on Heavy Psych Sounds, and will be on tour across Europe in the spring of 2017...
